Another Haul | Kiko Hong Kong 一連第三次（再）買

From my last haul, I mentioned there's a coupon with purchase. The discount I got was 20% off, and I went ahead and used it with my cousin Honor (blog). My friend Cynthy (blog) got an even better 30% off so I made another trip to Kiko with her, along with our two little ones (hers a decent young chap, mine a complete monster who poured a jar of syrup onto himself at the cafe, after our shopping spree).

So this is a compilation of two hauls, and now the floor is open, what do you think I can 'still' buy with my 15% off coupon which is valid until the end of this year?

Intensely Lavish Lipstick (3.5 g, Italy) $79

#04 Mild Sangria

#06 Melodious Wine

One of my current favourite lipstick formula. Moisturising, creamy, comfortable and pigmented. The colour range is limited, and it is (I believe) limited in supply. If 03 is not a red (I have way too many reds in my collection and I tend to like my reds sheer or matte, not in between), and 05 is not so similar to 06 (05 is like a lighter version but same tone), then I'd have gotten all 6 of them.

Twin Stars lipsticks are close dupes of Charlotte Tilbury Matte Revolution, very close formula, wear, and exact bullet cut. I may find time to do a proper swatching or comparison between them, one day, well, after I crack open my second CT Matte Revolution in the Christmas Box Set (on its way! December is literally HERE!).

After knowing that Cynthy got herself an Anti-aging foundation and liked it, I was on the hunt of one myself. However, the shades of many formulae of Kiko foundations are a bit off and I didn't find mine in several. I settled for this mid-range priced Lifting one, which is pretty surprisingly amazing. It looks glowy, but is not greasy or wet, set and lasts for hours, and overall gives good-looking skin.

BB lip glaze is another pleasant encounter. I was hoping to get a lipgloss to try out and to mix with the various lipsticks I purchased. Saw this claiming it's 'moisturising' and got myself a pretty salmon-beige colour. It is indeed moisturising and very kind to my rough lips. Plumping and smoothing aside, it also comes with a nice-weighed tube and silicone-plastic applicator - neat!

Moon Dust Face Powder #02 Fairy Mauve (8 g, Italy) $155

Shining Star Lip Lacquer #01 Cool Mauve (5.8 ml, Italy) $79

親切的櫃姐臉上用著這塊類似 MAC MSF 的烘焙胭脂 01 色，好看。

原本我被它抹在手上的光澤有點嚇怕，

但暈開之後變得自然多了，而且打亮的效果很有質感。

我挑了暗一點暖一點的 02 （另一塊比較粉嫩）。

小缺點：小許難打開的包裝，還有單價偏貴～

唇釉有兩款（都是限量系列裡面的），

有光澤這款顏色選擇比較少，但妝效我比較喜歡。

另外有霧面（半霧面？）的那種顏色更多，

我怕乾唇難駕馭就放棄了。

When I went on my 3rd trip to Kiko with Cynthy, I (sadly?) have not much to buy - already purchased what I fancied in the first two trips! I wished I had time to better try out the powder but with a monster around, getting the right shade is near impossible. So instead, I picked up some other items, including - a holiday baked blush that reminds me a big lot of MAC Mineralize Skin Finish - if only more pigmented, smoother and about half the price? The other shade 01 is lighter and cooler, which didn't appeal to me as currently I'm more into mauve, beige, nude shades especially on my cheeks.

There are two types of lip lacquers (or liquid lipstick, or lip creams) from their recent releases. This shinier type has fewer colours but look more forgiving on my dry lips. The other velvet-matte type offers in more various shades but I am slightly worried it will not look good on me.

My sister, who went to Kiko with me during my first haul, asked for a 'younger' looking product for her to play with. This lip crayon changes hue according to the lips' pH - which is an interesting concept - so I got her one.

Shade Fusion Trio Blush #01 Natural Rose (6 g, Italy) $99

Velvet Mat Lipstick #609 Cherry Red (3.5 g, Italy) $79

Scrub & Peel New Skin Effect Wipes (20 pcs, Italy) $69

品牌推出的胭脂常態系列有一種單色的，

不過包裝是會變黏的那種黑色膠（NARS 的朋友，不是我的菜）。

所以買了一塊比較新的這款三色。

店裡面好像已經有兩色缺貨（應該會補吧），

令我特別有興趣。

選了最「平凡」的自然暖粉，用了幾次，

都是隨意混色亂掃，跟膚色頗融合，粉質也幼滑。

K 家 霧面唇膏是我的弱點（最愛），而且今趟有七折…

就讓我多敗一條深酒紅吧。（藉口用盡…）

粉紅色包裝的去角質是今趟最新奇的玩意，

裡面有二十張溼紙巾。

紙巾不太溼，一面有頗粗的凹凸粒粒，另一面是普通軟軟的沒特別。

有淡香，成分有 A 酸跟維他命 E ，促進細胞更新（亂翻譯），

一周用兩次，用後要沖水。

用了一片，稍為用力擦也不會刺激，不錯。

Cynthy 還買了一包 身體去角質的，要問問她好用否～

After letting go of my Blush Stick, I do not own any cheek colour from the regular line. Saw this pretty trio blush (two shades were sold out!) with a sleek silver case equipped with magnetic closure and craved. I have worn this several times and I must say, it looks natural, texture is fine and lasts pretty long on me.

I cannot resist getting one more shade of my favourite lipstick formula - Velvet Mat - and I opted for a deep wine red.

The scrub and peel wipes are a wonderful new discovery by Cynthy - she also got the Body version - which has AHA and Vitamin E infused to turnover skin faster. One side is significantly rough, and one side is just normal-soft. I have used one sheet, and despite rubbing with some force it didn't irritate me - good sign.

殘念：

其實我真的很想買一塊粉餅的（抱著怪獸不能好好試色）

還有眉妝控表示對眉筆另一頭的不是螺旋刷感到可惜（染眉膏還有太多存貨暫時不可以買）

眼線睫毛膏除了存貨量大＋最近畫得不夠多以外，還恐怕不合我的眼皮／睫毛（會暈？）

所以，

下次去店裡想用掉刮刮卡真的要詳細計畫一下…

Tell me. What else am I missing out from KIKO? What should I buy with my 15% off coupon later this month?
